I'm getting close to ordering a 37C slant to add to my rotation. I have been extremely pleased with the Weber DLC lately but looking to get maybe a little bit closer 3 pass shave with a DE without going Sweeny Todd. I'm getting my closest shaves with my Hydromagic injector but I'd like to find a little more aggression in a DE razor (not as much as the R41 however). Was wondering if the slant might be something you guys would recommend.

Also interested to hear comments from those who might have bought one then sold it.

Duane, I've been neglecting my beloved OCMM as I've been using a 39C Sledgehammer Slant (procured from Dave actually!). I'll be glad to let you test drive the sledgehammer if you like. You would also be helping to rebuild my OCMM relationship by borrowing it. The slant is that good.

A few months back I bought a no-name plastic slant. I put a Feather in it and experienced a wonderful shave. I found a FASAN after that, and enjoyed a great shave from it, too. While only having used these two, I have found them just as easy to use as any DE I have used in years past. Go for it!

The slant is a very nice razor, but i would highly recommend an open-comb razor. Give the old Gillette open-combs a try. You can start with the long-comb, or the short-comb, but my preference would be the Old-Type ball end. Good luck.

My second razor was (still is) a Merkur 39C slant - same head as the 37C but with a longer handle. From the second I worked out the proper angle I was in love; one pass with the slant removed about twice as much stubble as two passes with my previous razor did without causing any troubles.

I don't think you'll regret it if you got a slant - well, maybe you'll regret not getting one sooner

My Sweeny Todd reference was simply a movie reference to the aggressiveness of certain razors r.e. blood and gore with a razor. Sweeny Todd video attached is not for the faint of heart. Viewer discretion is advised. Seriously.

Thanks for the offer Brian but Dave has fixed me up. I will be experiencing a slant soon.

The only blade that offers me a closer shave (in 1 pass) would be the Feather Super Professional, but I'm not a fan of the design of the Cobra Classic and I find the blade a tad too wide for an injector style razor.

My slant's dusty so I need to revisit it soon. Good luck with your slant quest. As mentioned, used it like a regular DE and you'll be fine. About the only time I go off method is when I shave high contour areas like my chin but even then it's slight..
